Kachori, a word that conjures lot of lovely memories spent during college days.

Khasta Kachori is a delicious, spicy, fried puff , great as an appetizer or as part of a festive meal for any occasion.

Here is how to make this Flaky & crispy Kachori’s is just 8 easy steps :)

Ingredients:

1 cup maida (all-purpose flour)

1 tbsp rice flour

2 tbsps oil

enough cold water to knead the maida

salt to taste

oil for deep frying

8 Easy Steps

Mix one cup of white flour (all purpose or plain flour), 1 tablespoon
of rice flour, 2 tablespoons of oil and salt. Make a dough. Knead the dough
well, using cold water.

Divide the dough into small balls. Keep them covered with moist
cloth for 20 – 25 minutes.

While the dough is resting, soak ¼ cup of mung bean and ¼ cup of
black gram for 3 hours. Drain the water and allow it to dry.

Add the oil to a frying pan. Add crushed cumin seeds and
asafoetida. Wait until it turns brown. Now add the ginger and green chilli
paste, gram flour and spice powders of your choice. Sauté them for a minute or
two.

At this stage, the fillings for
the kachori are ready. Place the fillings on a plate.

Take out the balls (of flour).
Roll the balls using a rolling pin
and roll into a thick poori. Add the kachori fillings in the center. Enclose
the kachori fillings with the outer part of the poori to make a pocket. Make
the same with the other balls.

Add oil to the frying pan and
heat on medium flame for frying the kachoris.Add the kachoris to the oil
and fry them until they're properly cooked and their colour turns to
golden–brown.
